Solution

The correct option is B Compound
If you heat iron filings ans sulphur to a sufficiently high temperature you form iron sulphide
$F e + S \to F e S$
If you add HCl to this the following reaction occurs:
$F e S + 2 H C l \to F e C l_{2} + H_{2} S$
$H_{2} S$ gas is given off and iron chloride is produced.
Both are chemical compounds.
